Recent Jim Corbett Dhikala Tour Dated 26 Jan To 28 Jan
PS: posting this long review because I genuinely love this place!
–
Since childhood, I’ve always been a person who loves mountains, sunrise, sunsets, forests, always been fascinated by stars and the moon. I’ve always believed that for me peace lies where my heart feels happy, warm, content, and at home.
I never thought I’d say this for any place because every different experience brings out new learnings and sometimes it feels weird to be so much in love with someplace, but Dikhala has my whole heart and soul.
I don’t know if this is going away from everyday stress and hustle, not being able to have networks for days or just sitting beside the river, reading my favorite book, listening to my favorite music and watching mountains for hours in silence or waiting patiently for animal’s to make moves, watching stars at night, observing best sunrise and sunset of my life. I don’t know what it is about this place that makes my heart smile.
All I know is, this place feels like home. Among so many other things, it has taught me the importance of solitude, silence, patience.
It makes me realize how mountains are silent yet expressive to only those who know how to listen and look within themselves, how rivers are noisy yet calm & soothing, how rustling winds, the chirping of the birds in the morning, the peacefulness of the dazzling night caress our soul, how nature makes you face your own fears, how it shows whether in forests or in life only the fittest can survive.
How for me, the definition of peace in this place, how every single time I come here, my constant urge of leaving everything behind to settle here becomes stronger and stronger, how nature brings me closer to my own self, how it is fun & beautiful and how in the end, nature is what makes us fun and beautiful.
so, next time you ask me why I revisit this place, again and again, every year. Look & observe my excitement when I talk about my experiences, look how my eyes shine and my heart smile while reliving all these memories again and again and how I heal & grow in ways I’ll never be able to explain, every single time I come to this place, to my home.
